Chapter 241

Aveline's fingers curled instinctively as she lay in the car.

She had actually woken up as soon as they put her in, but she hadn't opened her eyes immediately.

Zachary had already left, and it was too late for her to return to the hotel alone, so she pretended to be asleep. There mit have been other reasons, but she didn't want to delve into them. She responded coolly, "Yes, any problem with that?"

"Aveline, you deceived me and took a free ride back, and this is how you repay me?" Lucas was nearly laughing in frustration.

Aveline looked at him. "Didn't I say thank you? What more do you want? Should I kneel and kowtow to you?"

Lucas was speechless. This woman really knew how to infuriate him!

Seeing his increasingly dark expression, Aveline smiled and said, " Lucas, you're upset because you gave a lady a ride back to the hotel? That's pretty petty of you." With that, she turned and walked away.

Lucas stood there for a long moment, truly exasperated by her words, before finally returning to the car.
